10 days ago my hubby had a Right Hemicolectomy, recovered well from surgery , his bloods dropped a bit and he was sore as was expected. Came home 3 days ago and been in a lot of pain, cannot go to the toilet. In the early hours of this morning I wanted to call 999 as he was bent double with pain
Spoke to colorectal team this morning who advised stronger laxative and seeing gp, managed to get an appointment and he examined him and sent us straight back to the hospital.
He's showing inflated markers for infection, his bloods have dropped again and when they examined him he nearly hit the roof in pain
I've left him on the ward waiting for two bag's of bloods, IV antibiotics and a CT scan.
I'm worried something has gone terribly wrong and he's going to need more surgery.
He's really struggling to take a deep breath and seems to be gasping/burping all the time
Sorry for the long story but it helps writing it down and I'm sure someone will have experienced something similar in the past.
Good night
